Food and dining

Food that brings our community together

Book a tour

The food at Salmond has really gone past my expectations. Every meal served is packed with flavour. Even if I’m skeptical for what's on the menu and get it anyways, it's always very good. They also encourage you to go back for seconds so you'll never go hungry.

The food has well and truly exceeded expectations; I love how you can cook your own eggs for breakfast, and waffles, and the food is so delicious.

Our menus change with the seasons and are influenced by what our residents love to eat.

Breakfast

Get the day started right. Hot breakfast options, smoothies to go and an all-day toast station.

Lunch

Looking for something to fill the belly? Hot options plus a full salad bar to get you through the day.

Dinner

The main event, packed with hearty mains, vegetables, and salads.

Food everyone can enjoy; we cater to your allergies and dietary needs.

Whether your dietary requirement is an allergy, medical or a preference, we'll work with you before you arrive to understand your dietary needs and discuss suitable options.
